Ok let's face it, Christmas episode are generally full of good things.
This one is not so suggar coated. Good and bad things happen, some parts are funny like House having a virgin pregnant case and trying to be nice.
Life and death are part of this episode too.
A good reminder of just awfull kids and teenagers can be.
So not a tremendous House's Episode but not a bad one neither, let's say above average.
Review of Joy to the World
